Book Description
A sequel to Bauer and Dawuni's pioneering study on gender and the judiciary in Africa (Routledge, 2016), International Courts and the African Woman Judge examines questions on gender diversity, representative benches, and international courts by focusing on women judges from the continent of Africa. Drawing from postcolonial feminism, feminist institutionalism, feminist legal theory, and legal narratives, this book provides fresh and detailed narratives of seven women judges that challenge existing discourse on gender diversity in international courts. It answers important questions about how the politics of judicial appointments, gender, geographic location, class, and professional capital combine to shape the lives of women judges who sit on international courts and argues the need to disaggregate gender diversity with a view to understanding intra-group differences. International Courts and the African Woman Judge will be of interest to a variety of audiences including governments, policy makers, civil society organizations, students of gender studies, and feminist activists interested in all questions of gender and judging.

Book Description
In approaching the writing of Intervention in the International Court of Justice, the author soon reached two conclusions. The first was that in order to understand the attitude of the Court today in applying the provisions of Articles 62 and 63 of the Statute, considerable importance attaches to their legislative history. In the Barcelona Traction (Preliminary Objections) case the Court referred to the `drafting records' of certain provisions of the Rules of Court under consideration there. The second conclusion was that examination of the decisions of the Court in intervention proceedings incidentally and in isolation from the case as a whole could put the material out of focus. The Court's position in a case of intervention can only be fully assessed in the context of the proceedings as a whole, when the real influence of the intervention phase on the final decision comes into the open. In addition, a new dimension, that of modern diplomacy, could be added to an understanding of the difficulties posed - for the Court, for individual States and for their legal advisers - by the institution of intervention. The book is based on a series of courses given by the author as Belle van Zuylen Professor in the Humanities at the University of Utrecht in 1986--1987. Nicaragua's intervention in the `Land, Island and Maritime Frontier Dispute' case between El Salvador and Honduras before a Chamber of the International Court led to a complete reexamination of the whole work, and to this current publication.

Book Description
In this original, far-reaching, and timely book, Justice Stephen Breyer examines the work of the Supreme Court of the United States in an increasingly interconnected world, a world in which all sorts of activity, both public and private—from the conduct of national security policy to the conduct of international trade—obliges the Court to understand and consider circumstances beyond America’s borders. Written with unique authority and perspective, The Court and the World reveals an emergent reality few Americans observe directly but one that affects the life of every one of us. Here is an invaluable understanding for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

Book Description

Book Description
This book traces the impact that the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, has had on various areas of international law. A number of prominent international experts examine whether, and to what extent, international law has been shaped by the Court's jurisprudence. The informal development of international law through the Court's judgments contrasts with the development of international law through more deliberate means, such as treaty-making. Assessing key areas of international law over which the ICJ has exercised its jurisdiction, such as international environmental law, international human rights, the law of the sea, and the law of immunities, this book comprehensively details the impact of international jurisprudence on contemporary international law. Continuing the work started by Sir Hersch Lauterpacht's influential book The Development of International Law by the Permanent Court of International Justice, this book provides key new insights into the role of the Court in wider international law. It makes required reading for anyone studying the ways in which international courts have in shaped the evolution of international law.

Book Description
"While sorne researchers would approach the study of the Court through an article by article analysis and commentary, this approach would detract from the didactic goals and conceptual unity of the work. Instead, Professor Abello takes a thematic approach as he analyses the important features of the ICJ while taking into account their transition from the earlier PCIJ. The reader will understand the continuity between the Permanent Court of International Justice, an organ of the League of Nations and the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations. The Optional Clause of Compulsory Jurisdiction is a symbol of the continuity between the PCIJ and the ICJ". "A la manera de un investigador que separa los elementos de un cuerpo para su análisis, el autor aborda el estudio de la Corte en su estructura y funciones, precedido por la transición de la Corte Permanente de Justicia Internacional a la actual Corte Internacional de Justicia. Prefirió, entonces, una división temática a una que lo habría llevado a comentar articulo por articulo el Reglamento de la Corte pero en desmedro de la unidad conceptual y la facilidad didáctica, propósito declarado por el autor. Entenderá el lector la continuidad entre la Corte Permanente de Justicia Internacional, órgano de la Sociedad de Naciones, y la Corte Internacional de Justicia, órgano judicial de la ONU y cómo el símbolo de tal continuidad es la aplicación a la última Corte citada de las Declaraciones Facultativas de Jurisdicción Obligatoria emitidas para la primera".
